James Russell, Digital Inclusion Officer at Rural Action Yorkshire, said, “there is an increasing need for people to get online, whether to keep in touch with friends and family, to access public services, or for work.

“This need is especially pressing in rural areas, where farmers will soon be expected to carry out all their admin online, and where geographical isolation can make being connected online even more important.

“We’re keen to work with local communities to get people online. While our current funding only runs until the end of March there is potential to extend the project into the future, so even if we can’t deliver training in your community now we hope to be able to do so at a later date.”

Anyone wanting to find out more should call James on 0845 3130270.

Rural Action Yorkshire is also looking for community centres, groups and buildings which would be interested in hosting online training sessions.
